Bringing the Minnesota transplant series to a close, the last stop I made on my jaunt around the Twin Cities was the Electric Fetus (not to be confused with LA's Electric Lotus or, for that matter, Flying Lotus). This was that stage of the trip where, realizing how much I had spent on records for myself, I had to pick up a couple for people back here to justify the fresh stretch marks my luggage bore from the crate's worth of vinyl inside.
Anyway let the guilt parade continue. The first track today is from White Gold, the 1974 release from the maestro Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra. Luxurious:
The Love Unlimited Orchestra - Only You Can Make Me Blue (1974) (buy)
Next few actually take me back to Hymie's (check a couple posts ago) and the 1978 self titled album from female vocal trio Gentle Persuasion, produced by Jerry Ross, the producer:
not the astronaut:
Speaking of space though, this record is out of this world. There are too many good songs on this record to just post one or two, so here you get a galaxy's worth of grooves, harmonies and tasteful string arrangements:
Gentle Persuasion - Who Do You Love (1978) (buy)
Gentle Persuasion - You'd Be Good For Me (1978) (buy)
Gentle Persuasion - One On One (1978) (buy)
Gentle Persuasion - Gotta Lotta Love (1978) (buy)
